Experts on swarm robotics
You've probably heard it said that there's no "I" in team, but Robotics and Aerospace Engineers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute might tell you, there's no "I" in robot either. Robots that work in teams, or swarms, have a distinct advantage over solo robots, particularly for conducting experiments in space.
Professor Cowlagi's research addresses various aspects of autonomy of mobile vehicles such as unmanned aerial vehicles and self-driving cars, including how such vehicles understand their environments and make independent... Read More
Professor Onal conducts research in soft robotics, a largely underexplored area of robotics that has significance in medicine, manufacturing, and disaster response. Soft robots could potentially be deployed in search-and-rescue... Read More
